Join us and watch all that might transform in you and around you this summer! Take a minute to flip through these pages and find the activities that are right for you, your kids and family. As always, each of our youth swim, fitness, tennis and sports programs will be led by talented and encouraging instructors.

BE PROACTIVE.
Introduce your children to water safety early. Register for swim lessons!
FOLLOW OUR TOP 5 SAFETY RULES
1. All children under the age of 14 must be supervised by an adult
in the pool, hot tub, and baby pool. The adult must be within 20 feet of the child. 2. Only Coast Guard Approved life vests are permitted. Children under the age of 14 with a life vest must be accompanied by an adult in the water. 3. Use age-designated locker rooms. Kids16 years and older use adult locker rooms, 15 years and younger use youth locker rooms. 4. Double diaper children who are not “potty trained”. This means a swim diaper underneath a rubber reusable swim diaper.
5. Listen to our Lifeguards.
EVEN CAUTIOUS PARENTS FORGET
Never leave your “strong swimmer” in one area while watching your “weak” swimmer in another. All children need to be watched. Do not rely on lifeguards to supervise your child. YOU are ultimately responsible for the safety of you and your children. Drowning is quick and it is silent. If in doubt, help a child out! For best protection and to keep our water clear, apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before entering the water.
NEW
Coast Guard approved life vests are now allowed for use in the pool. Any child under the age of 14 wearing a life vest must be accompanied in the water by an adult.
